Either way, problem solved. But can he throw a football & read a defense or is it smoke and mirrors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJoTownsell1 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 1 hour ago, Sperm Edwards said: What if he’s just a kinda talented player in an ultra comfy spot? I’m not saying he will suck or anything (unless we draft him lol). Just that if this was the identical situation 3 years prior, people would be just as apoplectic about blowing it & missing out on sure thing Sam Darnold “the best prospect since Andrew Luck” & stuff. Suck for Sam, remember? No I wasn’t rooting for a Jets win today. But put aside the final draft order isn’t set yet — until the dust settles in a year or two it’s not known that he’s the best QB in this draft, or even second best for that matter, regardless of whether he’s taken 1st overall in April. Every Jets fan the moment we realized we just screwed ourselves out of a franchise QB began their own personal steps of grief. You, my friend, are in step 1 Denial- Maybe Lawrence isn't even so good. Maybe we got lucky. Check back in when you join me in step 2, Anger. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their opponents have literally averaged twice as many points as they have. It’s by far the worst point differential in the NFL this year. If this season hasn’t been “1st overall pick bad” I’m curious what kind of atrocity they’d have to put on the field to earn the 1st pick. This has been bothering me for the past month or so. It really is ****ed up that we would have had to go winless to get the top pick—that one single win has basically torpedoed any hope we might have had. Cincinnati won twice last year and got the top pick, and Arizona won three times and got it the year before that. I know this is a whiny thing to say, but it really is just terribly unfair. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But can he throw a football & read a defense or is it smoke and mirrors? I actually keep looking at what he’s done and the knock is essentially that he’s not super mobile. But at the same time looking at the full game film he didn’t seem like a statue to me. He’s just not Lawrence or fields or any of these recent athletic QBs. That said idk when that became a prerequisite to play QB. I mean Peyton and Brady weren’t exactly running the option. He’s throwback in that sense. If we don’t get Lawrence he’s my hedge at the top of the second or with the Seattle pick depending on how his stock changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you have terrible coaching, protection, and weapons It’s very tough to succeed. Now Dam has issues he needs to fix but they can be fixed with a better coach and supporting cast Darnold is the 5th best QB in the AFCE. What other evidence do you need?

The problems with Sam Darnold cannot be fixed with a new scheme or playing for a whole new team. He’s thrown 5 touchdowns. In 10 games. It’s a sunk cost at this point, but he’s a reclamation project for some other team. Jets should move on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone getting paid $450,000 or more a year to throw a ball can flash. Consistency is key. Darnold is consistent... at being a terrible QB. There is no evidence he can be good. It’s hope and conjecture. Which is fine but let’s call it what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
